First let me thank Adam, Joe and Stephen for showing me the course and allowing me to win ;-) I gave the course a 4.0 'cause a 3.5 was too low. I think this place is a solid 3.75, maybe close to 4.0. But nonetheless, a very fun course.

The first few holes are misleading. After playing 1, you enter a series of tight, technical holes that make you think it's going to be this way all the way through. But that changes when you hit the back-to-back holes 6-8 where you GRIP and RIP! Then it opens up for while on a series of sub-300 foot open holes. That's until hole 13 and it's 1000+ fairway. If your arm ain't taxed by now, it will be!

Then's it's back through the pines until 18 where you have another 400+ uphill toss.

Very minor, but some of the signage distance was really off, especially hole 11. Sign says 263, but it's waaay more.

Grass was really high when I played, so it made the ground very wet and hard to find your disc. Might want to keep this in mind when you play

Extremely well maintained course. Lots of distance and a good variety of wooded and open holes. Nice use of mandos on several holes, and the "island" hole is a nice touch.

Holes tend to be very heavily wooded or completely barren fields...would be nice to see a few more lightly wooded holes mixed in.

That Georgia summer sun can get HOTTT

A very fun and challenging coarse. Islands of trees in throwing lanes and Long par 5's make it worth playing.

A little tough to follow. if your playing yellow tees (use to be black) i would recommend downloading the coarse map to your your phone.

plan to play way more!!

This was my third course ever played. I'm a local stockbridge resident, and was excited to have a course so close to home. This is a fairly spacious course with some extra long par 5's. The layout can be tricky, which encourages me to get out there and play more often. The area is nice and quite and very relaxing.

My only con was that it had rained earlier in the day and due to the amount of rain in a short period of time, there were a few slightly flooded areas. Other than that this place is awesome!

If your ever in the area and would like to play a round, give me a shout!

This is a great course. It definitely offers a great deal of length and playability options for all skill levels. This was one of the first courses that offered distinct challenge to me while obviously showing how many options can be made available to the DG community to level the playing field for all involved.
There are a wealth of benches throughout the course to rest from the long walks down the fairways.

Some of the tee signs could use replacing. This can make things confusing for a newer player. However these cons are greatly outshined by the pros

Black tees are thrown in, so if you are playing the "really long" track look out for 1 and 13.

This course is one of the better courses in Georgia. It has mown grass, nice baskets, great tee signs, and very nice tee pads. This course offers a great mix of open and wooded holes and utilizes the land provided to make an awesome layout. I played this course from the gold(playing hole 13's black) and the mixture of par 3,4 and 5 and open/wooded makes for an exciting round. There are flags on top of each basket. Also, one of the best features are the benches which are on almost every hole. This makes for an enjoyable round since the walk is pretty long considering the course is long.

There are a few improvements that could be done with this course. The design, although a good one, could be vamped up a little to make it more of a true gold course. Also, the baskets are a little hard to see when playing in the woods. Maybe some brighter colored flags, or some type of markers to indicate the basket location. Also, there were hardly an garbage cans on the course, which could pose problems with trash build up. Although the course was fairly clean, I can see where it could get messy quickly.

As far as design goes, I feel as if some of the holes were "tweeners" and could be tweaked a little to make for a more challenging course. The hole that comes to mind most is hole 15. This is a par 3, but it is impossible to reach in 1 shot when in the long. Maybe this hole could be lengthened a little more and made a true par 4. Also holes 1 and 12 could be lengthened a little to make them a little more challenging. It is almost as if they reward a good shot too much, while a bad shot is still rewarded. I feel as if on a true gold level course, a good shot on a par 4 should still leave you with a little work, but still have some reward. Not too easy, but not too hard. Hole 12 is a par 3, but could be lengthened a little to make for a tough par 3 that really rewards a good shot, but a bad shot has more work to do. Although these are minor, I just saw the possibility of making things a little more gold caliber.

This is a fun course. I have played here multiple times and will definitely play here again when I'm in the area. If you were by yourself and never played this course, I think it would be easy to navigate. This is a must play if you are in the area!

1) There is a kiosk at the first hole with rules of the game and such. There also is a practice basket available right in the same area which is always a nice touch.

2) 3 tees per hole (plus some fourth PRO tees extend an already long course) on most holes with some duplication. 1 of the tees is concrete on every hole and sometimes covers two tee locations. Colored posts mark where the tees are, Red is the forward tee, Blue is the middle tee, Gold is the back tee, and Black is the extreme PRO tee . . . only used on a couple of holes.

3) Risers have been inserted into the tops of the baskets to make them more visible. This is really helpful when the baskets are tucked behind some shrubs or tucked around corners.

4) Excellent property for disc golf because it is so diverse. There are plenty of tight wooded holes, a handful of mostly open holes with a few key obstacles to avoid, and then a couple of just bomber type holes where the more distance you can get the better.

5) You need to be able to work your disc in all directions, while the hyzer is the primary shot on your drive you will most likely need to throw a few recovery anhyzers. I actually had to throw 5 short turnover recovery shots with my Stingray on 5 of the first 6 holes and I got up and down everytime for par. There are still a couple of turnover drives but it is more hyzer friendly.

6) Nice tee signs with Hole #, Par, Distance, and a map of the hole.

7) Helpful directionals in the woods to direct you to your next hole.

8) Plenty of benches and garbage cans available on the course and they have taken it a step further to put those benches under a rain shelter of sorts. While it is not much bigger than the bench it should do the trick unless the rain is coming down sideways.

9) Skull Island is just a unique idea . . . making a manufactured Out of Bounds, that actually is a benefit to the course and a very unique hole. I am not sure where the Pirate thought comes from as Atlanta is well inland from the ocean, but just go with it I guess.

10) Fairways and walkways to the next hole are lined with logs, which really helps with navigation.

11) Legitimate Par 4's and Par 5's on this course which is just awesome to see. I know most of the longer holes are fairly open, but there still are obstacles to create some fun shots.

12) Any course that allows me to throw a couple of rollers instantly becomes a decent course . . . well not truly, but rollers are a lot of fun to throw so I always enjoy it when a course allows it.

13) Mando's used effectively to create and define fairways and shot shaping.

14) Excellent distance variation allowing for all types of shots required to play well out here. I always appreciate it when I end up needing to use just about everything in my bag.

15) Easy navigation through this course with a really natural layout and feel to the routing.

16) Shorter tees basically seem to be in line with making the course playable for different skill sets. Red would be a good recreational or novice players, blue I good for intermediate and advanced, Gold is good for advanced and lower level pros and black is really only viable for the biggest throwers in the game.

17) Ultimate in distance variation with the biggest variety I have ever seen.

1) Overgrowth was not too bad in most spots but there were a few really punishing areas alongside of the fairways.

2) There seemed to be lots of trippers underneath all of the fallen leaves. While I didn't have a problem finding my disc in the wooded holes, I could imagine playing right after leaf drop would be tough to find discs that could easily slide underneath the leaves.

3) I would personally enjoy more obstacles on the longer open holes, but I know this was part of a large tourney with a lot of the big pros and they want to see more aired out shots, so I can understand why it has been laid out the way it has.

4) The wooded holes are pretty tight but I can imagine finding more lines after playing this course more than once.

5) The two forward sets of tees are grass/dirt or natural teepads. It would be nice to see that the beginners playing the course get the same treatment.

6) The pedestrian path gets in play a few times on the middle of the course but otherwise the course is completely on its own property from other activities. Because the path is in the mostly wide open portion of the course there are really no worries about hitting people MOST of the time.

Apparently there is an interesting regional difference because in the Atlanta area they apparently refer to their circular traffic dispersers as "Traffic Circles" while in Wisconsin and other places they call them "Roundabouts". I bet they probably call their individual water dispersers as "Water fountains" while we refer to them as "Bubblers". Apparently Georgia is more of the realist and pragmatist types while us northerners are more artistic.
Another interesting thing to note is this course is basically bisected a couple times by a sewage or storm-water easement. It actually makes for some nicely defined fairways that run right up these lines.

- Large, concrete tee pads on all holes; I haven't found any to be slick either, which can be an issue if the conrete is finished to finely.
- Multiple tee pads; it should be noted that many of the AM pads are natural, but providing that option is nice, nonetheless.
- Great mix of holes; there are some shorter holes were ace runs are possible, and then there are some longer holes, where you really have to let it fly. However, the long holes still require accuracy, which is what many "long" courses miss.
- Good mix of shots required; anny, hyzer, straight, etc. You can get pretty creative on how you want to shape your shots. Just be sure you hit your lines. The longer holes may look open, but watch out for those mando's and OB lines.
- Multiple pin placements; I always prefer for a course to either have multiple pads or multiple pin placements. This course has both. Really adds the option for a variety of looks.
- Great park setting; the park seems nice and pretty well maintained. Everyone I've met at the park (disc golfer's or not) have been cordial and most will even say hello. The park is in a safe area as well.
- Benches on many holes, and several even have structures (i.e. roof) that provide much needed shade.

I really don't have many cons for the course, as it's one of the better layouts I've played. However, a couple of things do come to mind; namely:
-Sometimes the grass can get long on a few of the open holes. I realize it's a very large park, and mowing it often is a chore and costs money. However, it's not necessarily fun to walk through shin high grass when you drove it in the fairway.
- Natural tee pads; I don't have a problem with earth pads, as long as they are in good condition. I've noticed that some of the AM pads are in pretty rough shape. I personally prefer the gold tees, but having concrete pads on all tees would make that option more desirable.
- No water out here. I must admit, I've yet to play a course that does provide water stations, but it gets hot out there during the summer, and holes 8-14 are a long way from the start. Therefore, carry with you any water/drinks you think you'll need.

Overall, this is one of the better courses I've ever played. The cons are merely trivial things that don't really detract from the quality of the course and the shots it requires. The layout is demanding, but very fair, and good shots will be rewarded. There aren't any holes where you have to hope to get lucky to close. If you put good moves on it, you'll shoot well. If your shot is errant, be prepared to take a stroke, maybe two or more (those OB's can get you).

Many longer courses tend to favor those with bigger arms, and while those who can throw it far might have a slight advantage, here a premium is put on placement. The designer(s) did very well incorporating many different factors of the park into the course. There are lots of good lines and hazards to keep you thinking. Hole 11, for instance, could have been quite an average hole, but they implemented an "island" green that really makes the hole special.

Great course. This is now officially one of my favorites.

Favorite Holes: 1, 6, 8, 9, 11, 16

Solid 4. Awesome long holes. This is a safe area and the people are friendly. You can get a membership at the rec center and shower after the game.

Grass needs cut more often. There are copperhead snakes in the stream around hole 11-12.

contact Kenny Moris Parks Dept if grass needs cut - 770-288-7300.

This course was immense. I have only played 3 courses in my day, and Moseley was not only bigger, it dwarfed the other two combined. The layout was very intuitive, I never missed a hole. Good blend of technical and all out disc chucking opportunities, sometimes on the same hole. Lotta benches and nice spots to distract you from your game. Couple really nice trails, and chill spots. Mostly secluded from other park activities, and it's as free as laying in the sun. Multiple launch pads was an awesome feature as well. Almost every hole had 2 or more.

There were some times when I had to wait for Pedestrians to walk by so that I could throw. Bring ample water with you. No water on the course (though I have never been to a course that DID have water stations) combined with it's sheer mass, can get thirsty.

This course rocked. It fully deserves a 4 star rating. If it had water, I would have given it a possible 5 star rating. The quality of the holes is choice. JP Moseley is an Excellent choice.

Great beginner's course. Short pars and great long holes over small elevation changes make for a great casual game atmosphere. Course design creates most of the challenge in this course rather than distance or hazards. Not a lot of heavy traffic on this course keep it fun and playable.

Not very challenging to more seasoned players. I doubt there will be any major tournaments here, ever.

This area is very suburban and often, other players on the course are teenagers or younger.

This course offers a wide range of challenges, and keeps things interesting throughout with lots of different types of holes. You'll play through tight woods with narrow technical lines to hit, and open long bombs with lurking rough or ob with everything in between. I enjoyed the mix of technical and distance challenges that make you throw just about every disc and shot you've got to score well.

There's a nice mix of hole shapes to go with the distance variety. The wooded holes offer a balance of left and right turning shots to keep things interesting, and many of the open holes call for hitting a line off the tee or placing your tee shot to have a good approach to the green. The flow of the course is pretty easy to follow despite a couple longer walks, and the multiple tees offer a great set of options for different levels of players. The long concrete tees are nice pads, and the natural shorter pads are reasonably level and in decent shape.

Though the shorter pads are decent for natural tees, it seemed like a lot of newer players were playing the long tees to play from concrete. The shorter tees offer nice challenges, and would probably get a lot more use if they had decent tee pads. The grass was pretty long in some areas, it's a big park to mow but losing a disc on the fairway is frustrating. There are some holes where it's not obvious where to find some of the tees, a little better and more consistent signage and navigation would be nice.

I had a great time playing here. It's a little rough, with lots of dead stuff on the wooded fairways and lots of long grass, but it offers some great challenges. Beginners will find the short tees approachable, with reasonable lengths for newer players. Experienced players will find themselves tested from the long tees, you'll need distance and accuracy to score well on the various types of holes here.

Excellent,large teepads.

Almost every single hole has a bench,with many of them having some sort of coverage for some nice(and needed)shade in the ridiculous Georgia heat.

The front 9 of this course,in my opinion is easily one of the best halves of golf i've played,not one bad hole. Some people might complain saying they are too tight and technical,but there is definitely a line,just a very tough one to hit.

Very easy to navigate with an excellent flow to the course.

There were a few holes on the back 9 I wasn't really a fan of,overall it was still enjoyable,but a couple of them just didn't offer anything too exciting,it's expected for most courses to have a couple of "ehhh" holes,but the rest of the course was just so awesome it caught me off guard.

On a couple of holes,the walking and biking paths definitely come into play,but most of them are pretty far back in the park,and I only saw a few people using them.

This was the sixth course I played this past weekend,and this is by far the best in the atlanta disc golf scene. There are quite a few long holes,including a few true par fives,so make sure to bring plenty of water to prepare for this epic.

Signature holes for this one for me,would definitely be the rock OB hole,which is just fun,and if theres no one near you,definitely can turn into a bag emptying one quickly,and also the first par five of the course,the tee shot is ridiculously fun.

Overall,if I had to recommend just one course to play while you were in the Atlanta area,it'd be this,Atlanta disc golf is horribly decentralized(as I learned) but almost all of them are worth hitting up.

J.P. Mosely Park is a difficult course, primarily due to distance, but fairly open and not without a few birdie opportunities. There are multiple tees for most holes, and I mixed in a few gold tees but mainly stuck with the blues on my only visit. Each of the baskets was there, and in decently good shape. There is a sign near the first tee with a course map. Distance is listed for every tee at each hole. Most holes have signage also. Overall mix of hole shapes and distances is widely varied. There is a mando, and an island to add some flavor. Well chosen path creates interesting lines through the trees, with plenty of chances to air out some long, open drives also.

The only really bad thing about my visit to Stockbridge was the way I played there. I guess more concrete pads would be a welcome addition. Threre were also once or twice where the signs were not in good position, and I had to backtrack to find tees.

This course is not exactly beginner friendly, but it is great fun and challenge factors. I was playing lousy golf when I passed through, and would love another shot at this one for sure. The Atlanta Open was in progress when I arrived, so I had to wait for an hour or so to play after my long car ride. Totally worth it despite the long delays and bad scores. Wish I could have seen the pros working this course the day before.

Nice Signage (Updated probably for Atl Open) The Signage in the Media section is outdated.
Nice NexT signs on the front 9.

A lot of people on here bash the front nine as a waste, but I actually enjoyed it. Gave me a great workout in terms of technical shots and trying to drive my putter and see how it handles distance.

The whole course is in great shape. Some small thistles out in the fairways. Dont wear flops and your fine. Grass is cut nice and evenly. For a beginner I didnt lose any discs. (I played from the Blue-Red Tees. I alternated on some given my limits to reach the basket in a fair manner.

The Skull Island Hole #11 Left me wanting to throw more and more till I reached the "island"

It is a def challenge for beginners. 2 Great Tunnel shot opportunities punished my flex shots

Its over 8,000 ft. Which is out of range for a beginner like me, but those 900' par 5's to me were legit because not everyone can score an eagle.

I dont have a lot of negatives since I played it once. I was kinda drooling at the fact a little on that the one hole I stole a birdie from, I was wondering that Climo himself prob birdied it too last weekend at the AO.

Its not a beginners course. Please take this into consideration. My noodle arm can barely squeak to 300' and those par 5's shredded my scorecard.

Great course overall. Will visit more often as it is between my home and Lenora Park in Gwinnett.

Long course with good signage on the Gold tees showing distance and basket placement. Nice covered seating at many tee-squares. Cement tees for Gold/Blue.

Long course; lots of walking; heavily wooded for portions. Bring plenty of water on hot days; little shade once you're done with the first few holes. On a flight path into the airport - lots of jet noise. Nothing too awful.

Recommended for Fall, Winter, Spring - Summer might be too brutal.

This is an amazing course. Super long for the big guns and there are multiple tee pads for any new comers. I don't recall but there is probably over 8 holes that are 800+ft. Very technical shot placement required on almost every hole. Uses a variety of different shots.

The course starts to open up on the longer holes so the sun may be a factor in your experience. Could of used a water fountain or water spickit near start of the course. Some bugs and briars.

Overall fun course. Good exercise. Talked to some locals that were really friendly. Very challenging and fun. Recommended to anyone who loves this sport.

Challenging

Poison and briars.

Thanks to the guys that mow out at Moseley, the grass is freshly mowed up to hole #9 as of this afternoon and they will be back to finish tomorrow. Also a big "THANK YOU" to JPZ for spraying all the poison ivy and sumac. Looking good!

I really love this course. It has a wide variety of open and wooded holes. I like that each hole has a four different tee positions, so players of all levels can be challenged.

The course is well marked and easy to navigate even if it is your first time playing. It has quite a few covered benches, which is awesome when the weather gets hot.

-Baskets could be in better shape, but they get the job done.
-Parts of the course turn very soggy if it has rained in the previous few days, so bring some boots if it has.

There were several pros to this course, including:
- Some of the longest holes in this state. North GA is known for some of its challenging wooded courses, and this course has 900' bombs. I loved being able to air out the monster drives.
- Serenity is often overlooked. I played on a weekday afternoon with some of the most beautiful weather, and only ran into 2 groups, not including the guy on the tractor cutting the grass.
- The course is well maintained. I had never played it before, and with almost 8000' of total distance I was concerned that I would get lost -- not the case. Signage was abundant and easy to decipher which direction to throw and where the pin location would be.
- Concrete pads were on every hole, including a few where the asphalt walkway was used as a pad - though these were clearly defined by gold spraypaint.

A few definite cons:

- Holes 2-6 are a joke if you look to cash in a low round. Think East Roswell, but even worse. A local told me that someone cut down a tree in the fairway on 5 in an act of vandalism, and I thought to myself "what a welcome addition to this hole." Just keep in mind that a little luck is needed through this wooded stretch in order to keep your scores from exploding.
- Course has some standing water issues, which may ruin your shoes if you're walking in the fairway on the long 8th hole.
- I would like to see an Excel spreadsheet of the scorecard uploaded onto DGCR. Pro par is not always marked on the signs at the tees, and it can be hard to discern between a 4 and a 5. This makes it hard to keep up with how many strokes you are under/over par and your cumulative score, which on this course, par does not add up to 54.
- Mach 3 baskets are often hard to find on holes in the woods and then the pine forest holes at the end. DISCcatchers would take this course to a 4.5-rating level just by themselves. But, it is an issue of money and I understand that.

This is a welcome addition to disc golf in the Metro Atlanta area, and I suspect that it will be home to a NT PDGA event within the next 5 years, as long as they can trim the fairways on 2-6. Definitely the course to play in the area if you are traveling through town and only have time for one.
